Windows 10 tip: Turn off Cortana completely. In the Windows 10 Anniversary Update, version 1607, Microsoft removed Cortana's on-off switch. But it's still there, if you know where to look. Use this tweak to make Windows search strictly local. This will limit the amount of tracking by Microsoft. If you need help with this do call.

If you use a Microsoft account to log into your local PC you are subject to increased Microsoft "telemetry" ... your usage locally and on the internet is subject to tracking. Call us if you want to know how to move back to a local PC account, which reduces telemetry.
